Charidiinn. Harold also publislies (Col. Ilefte, iv. pp. 32-70) a mono- 
graphic revision of the species of this genus, of which he describes 27 in all. 
The known species of other authors admitted by him are the following : — C. 
pauperatum (Germ.), capistrutum (\^Wi.)—hideroUles (Web.), squalulum (Fab.) 
s=subcsnemn (Blanch.) —foveicuUe and platymerum (Redt.), vividum (Germ.)^ 
and simplex (Gerv.). Chceriditim tu'tidwiif prasinum, cupreunij Jiavicorne, 
violaceipenne, and viridicolle (Blanch.) belong to Canthidiiim \ C. dilatieolle 
(Blanch.) is a TJroxys j C. latum, viduum, and fiiscipes (Blanch.) are pro- 
bably true Choeridia, although the first may be a Canthidium. All Lucas’s 
Chocridia in Castelnau’s voyage are to be referred to Canthidium. Chceriditim 
fasciatum and cleyans (Oast.) belong to Canthon, and C. collar e and nitidulum 
(Cast.) to Canthidium,
